Save password for network drive connection

[Guest]

Hi all,

Computer A (running Windows 2003 SBS) has a shared folder that has been
mapped as a network drive in Computer B (running Windows XP Home Edition).
Each time I start a session in Computer B I have to write the username and
password to be able to open my network drive.

Is it possible to save the username and password so that I don't need to
write it each time I want to use the shared folder?

Thanks for your time and help.

Regrads,

Since XP Home cannot join a domain, the user must authenticate with
username/password matching on the server. Authentication must happen
each time.

In order to do what you want - not need to authenticate each time -
upgrade the XP HE box to XP Pro and join it to the domain.
